Perm Design Flashcards

Perm Techniques and Definitions

• The spiral technique is best utilized on medium to long hair.
• Added texture creates the illusion of shorter hair lengths.
• Two primary wrapping techniques for perming are spiral and overlap.

Wrapping Techniques and Effects

• The overlap (croquignole) technique produces undulating waves and curls.
• Texture placement refers to positioning texture in specific areas of the head or along portions of the hair strand.

Design Principles in Perming

• Design principles of repetition, alternation, progression, and contrast can be applied along the hair strand and within texture zones.
• Perm patterns, or wrapping patterns, affect the final curl appearance and assist in organizing perm services.

Types and Effects of Perms

• Zonal perms are also known as partial perms and are used to emphasize or support specific areas, as well as create bold statements.
• Adding texture to the fringe boosts volume and height in hairstyles.

Purpose of Base and End Perming

• Base perming is used for creating lift and volume, especially for new hair growth to match previously permed texture.
• End perming enhances texture away from the base, resulting in contrasting textures.

Perm Patterns Overview

• Common perm patterns include rectangle, contour, bricklay, spiral bricklay, and zonal.
• The bricklay pattern is beneficial for avoiding splits in the curling process.
• A rectangle pattern is referred to as a 6-block pattern.
• In a contour pattern, rods are positioned diagonally forward, transitioning to horizontal as they progress.
